I have been suffering for 3.5 weeks. Where the heck was this post earlier? :) Thank you for writing it today. It's quite possible I wouldn't have listened until today. Today..I kick a**!
Come on a trip with me? I mean besides Portland! Let's go ziplining somewhere. OR bungy jump off a bridge..although I don't want to bungy jump cause I think it's dumb to jump off a perfectly goo0d bridge..but I"ll totally take your photo while YOU do it...or maybe you can take me to the capilano suspension bridge and hold my hand cause it totally freaks me out...:) I am SO excited to see what your year looks like! xoxoxo
Perfect. Timing. xo
@iSalesGirl @LolaSpeaking Thank you! Yes. it sure was. And still continues to be as I am forever the hugger girl. https://www.facebook.com/pages/2011-The-Year-of-Hugging-Fearlessly/202367986458316?fref=ts
Beautiful. Thank you for writing this. I was just dropping my car off for detailing this morning and the woman who took my keys said to me "You look really familiar...where do I know you from?" And after a few minutes of trying to figure it out, I said to her..."It's possible you've seen me on tv or in the paper, and I don't mean to sound obnoxious, but I did a hugging project for a year, and it was all over the news etc." She then smiled and asked me to tell her about it. "I hugged one new person every single day for 365 days in an effort to connect personally given the digital world we live in." She smiled so big, I thought her face might actually hurt. I didn't get a chance to hug her but I think I will when I go and pick up my car. I love all your posts, but I think this one is my absolute favorite. ever. xo
@Lori There is so much to think about. I am a blogger. 3 different blogs. My last post? Gosh, I hadn't even thought about it. Oh that's frightening to think about. Gives me chills. I promise to do that tho. For all 3. I haven't made any plans for anyone to tend to my affairs, but you've just made me realize it's time to do so.
I'm sorry to hear of your brother in laws passing and I thank you for sharing it here. I met Sandi Amorim online before I ever met her in person, and my life would not be the same were she to die. It's important to share. I hadn't thought of a list..passwords and such. A great idea. Thank you for that. I'll take care of that. and in the meantime, may you and your family have the time you need to grieve the loss of someone so dear to you.
@Sandi Amorim You know me... I'm a big fan of jacking things up.
@Carol Hess /CAROL!!!! I'm so glad you like the game of tag. I love it too! Sandi's post was the perfect thing for me to read this morning, 1st thing, and it just sparked something. I too appreciate YOU for being a part of this super cool/equally nerdy crew!
Holy macaroni! I made the list? wow! Thank you!
I love and appreciate you Sandi for being someone who refuses to live a toned down life. You make it so easy for me to live a life filled with bright colours and way too much enthusiasm!
I love and appreciate the amazing people I have in my life who just love and appreciate me.
I love and appreciate that today is friday. Not because it's payday or because the weekend is coming. No. I love and appreciate every single day. So Friday gets my love today.
I love and appreciate being someone people can call when they need something. Or they just need to share something. I love being that person.
I love and appreciate how often people will email me just to say thank you. Thank you for that.
I could go on forever. I guess I should leave room for others to chime in. ha! But you just gave me an idea. Thank you. I love and appreciate you for your inspiration. Constantly.
Love Me.
@Sandi Amorim @Sabrina at MyMiBoSo Yet another Superpower of mine. :)
@Sandi Amorim OHHH I know! I'm like a wrecking ball of cheerfulness. That's kind of like a superpower isn't it?
@Sandi Amorim Sneaky Pete. And Hello! Do you even know me? Of course I know what my superpower is. Hello. Being Awesome is my Superpower. THAT And of course...love. Love is a superpower too isn't it? Cause I'm chock full of that. Any other thoughts? Did I miss anything?
I LOVE this post and so far, all I've read is the quote! SANDI! How did I NOT know you were writing this? ! wow!
This is so beautifully written..I cried also.
See. You did it perfectly. :)
holy sh*t! this is the best thing i may have ever read. I mean not really but i think you get the point. holy sh*t! i love it! you make me happy sandi! immensely! THAT is most definitely one positive thing...among thousands! thanks for introducing me to "Happy For No Reason"..it's like permission to be me! xo
@joelrunyon My favorite part is when they've all secretly adopted some habit that I've been doing...cold shower therapy for instance. The number of friends who have secretly taken it on. And yep..even the boxing gym. Somebody always wants to go. It's the habit building tho. The consistency. I need people to do what they say...but that's a whole other conversation. I got a lot from this post Joel! And the timing was perfect. Thank you!
I LOVE what you said about "The Friends". I'm running up against that now, and I gotta be honest..I don't mind being "that girl"! It's been amazing! Even my mum's getting the hint..and it's only taken 6 months. Thanks for putting that piece in! It's imperative (or at least it has been for me) to have people who are going to respect it.
SANDI! You made me cry. I'm so honoured to be a part of this amazing list. Thank you for including me and for the acknowledgement. It is my great pleasure to be that person for you. Let's face it. You're pretty kick ass yourself. (Yes that's right. I didn't even put in any **)! :) Love you! xo
